That summer Chicago suffered from dry and hot weather, “The city had received less than two inches of rain between July and early October, which drastically reduced water levels in wells and cisterns, and hot winds further dried the ubiquitous wood into kindling.” Dried trees fell down from the hot sun, the grass and leaves dried out as well. The dry leaves were swept through the city, creeping into all the small crevices and gutters across the city. Many fires…

It was a typical morning in Park City, Utah. Wil Cruz woke up to the sound of his alarm, at 5:30 a.m. and immediately looked out his window. Fresh snow had fallen overnight, about a foot or so, and icicles hung from the lip of his roof that almost reached the base of his house. He got out under the layers of blankets spread around his bed, and went to watch the weather channel. His best friend Jake was already watching, waiting anxiously for the report. “It’s another great day here in Park City…

never come back again.” The descriptive lyrics created a visual as if I was also experiencing the Dust Bowl. The descriptive lyrics made the song come alive in his song lyrics as he sang “... whistled through the cracks … rippling ocean of dust the wind.” Words like dreadful, deathlike, and doom gave the song tone a negative effect. It is important we explore the music of Woody Guthrie today is because we can relive the terrible times of the Dust Bowl by listening to his songs.…

Still about 1,000 miles south, she is being fed and gaining energy by the warm waters, continuing to grow and sustaining wind speeds of 110 mph.

Before heading up north, she hit Florida and North Carolina, knocking out highways as whole and continues…

Duffe and her family had just moved to Highwood last fall when the festival occurred on a dreary weekend, but the weather did not discourage them. “We were so curious to connect with the town we had just moved to, that we decided to get out and see the fest anyways,” Duffe said. “There were more…

terribly wrong. September 8, 1900 the waves rose and the people of Galveston ran towards the shore. The people thought that this was just unique and they wanted to check it out. The water started rising and people were running for high ground. The wind was so strong it pulled off the slate shingles and they shot through the air killing tons of people. The water pressure was so strong it capsized many houses and at the end there was no high ground any more. There was nothing to be seen of…

Imagine you are standing by the world’s biggest storm, with 28 strikes per minute and never seems to stop. It can go on for 10 hours at a time and over 260 days per year. Now take into account that this phenomenon is actually happening right now in Venezuela. It is named the Catatumbo River Storm. The first things that I thought of to explain this freak storm were these three questions: What is the climate in Venezuela? What is in its surroundings?Is there something in the air? I…

vessel. Nine hundred men with a cause and mission. The serenity of peaceful blue skies garnished by flights of seagulls rapidly vanished, as looming gray clouds of damnation forced their way over the eastern coastline. An unseasonably cool and high wind aided the masted vessels as they continued along their course. A course that would lead the crews - at some point -…
